Wide Speculation...

Just read this on the Political Ticker...

Edwards flatly said Friday, as he had before he endorsed a candidate, that he's not interested in making a second run for vice president.

"No," Edwards said in no uncertain terms on NBC's the Today show when asked about the possibility. "Won't happen.…It's just not something I am interested in."

As for another position in an Obama administration, specifically Attorney General, Edwards was decidedly more coy.

"I don't really want to get involved in that speculation," he said. "Right now we have to focus on getting Barack Obama elected to President of the United States, then we’ll worry about those things."

So, are we to assume that VP is already spoken for? have Obama and Clinton decided (privately) to go on a joint ticket once the dust has settled and we have a nominee?

Can you imagine?

Obama, Clinton (& Clinton), Edwards, Biden, Richardson, Kucinich, etc. ALL in the new Administration? Essentially, we'd have the cabinet all sealed up before November and people would be voting not just for "their" candidate, but an entire Administration and host of Democratic heavies. -UNBEATABLE-

I think it would be amazing.

How could you think that

Now this makes no sense....Barak/Clinton ticket....this man has slandered this woman for months, this man has called the Clinton's racists dogs, he has flipped her off... His wife has treated Hillary like scum....If she were to do that how stupid and desperate that makes Obama look...No, I don't think so... I wouldn't want to be bothered with the likes of him or his cabinet not after this...That is such an insult to even think it. I admire Hillary a hell of alot more than I admire Obama. Hillary has shown fortitude, as well as preserveracne...he to me and forgive me for saying this is a sloth

A few weeks ago, I heard a Cabinet position was offered. Edwards has updated his website, with Campaign 09 logo, so he does have a dog in this fight. His manipulation of the timing of his support shows that move.

....you're delusional! I guess Hillary has been floating around the last months with a halo around her head! Every statement you made could be reversed against Hillary including the one about Obama being the desperate one.

I lol today with the Obama statement against an ad today, Republicans played Michelle's statement that this was the first time she was proud of America.

Obama's response was you cannot attack the spouse of a candidate. I lol, due to him attacking Bill Clinton. What a whiner. How stupid!
  
Won't work

Obama/ Hillary never happen, because of Michelle Obama. You know everyone on the news is up in arms about some ad running that I guess is downing her. I haven't seen it; and I will not down her. But, I have heard her comments as we all have. Now, she is in the fire because her husband is running for the presidency and she would be "First Lady". How can someone who has such a negative view of our country be eligible or even want to be "first lady"?

Clinton/ Obama would have a slim chance; but too much has gone on I think even for that.
